Red Union

The Serbian band Red Union don't let anybody stand still. During their career, they gained a cult status they deserve and now they are coming for the first time to introduce themselves to the local audience. There are influences like The Clash and the original British punk scene as a whole in the fundamentals of their sound. But they are not stuck 30 years in the past and they add an up-to-date energy and a whole load of enthusiasm in the mixture. Apart from The Clash mentioned above, their music is influenced by bands like Rancid, Anti-Flag or International Noise Conspiracy, or the legendary bands from Yugoslavia from the 70's. The songs are built on brilliant melodic ideas, uncompromising rhythm and a charismatic vocal and their sound is highly contagious. By adding intelligent political lyrics and a clear attitude against Nazis and authorities, Red Union sure creates punk anthems of the lost generation of today. Their show at the MayDay Festival will be an experience worth remembering.
